My thoughts on my life
Outcast

Have you ever felt like an outcast
Where you are all alone,
Even if you are surrounded by people.
If you thought you were an outcast,
What would you do?
Would you just take everything in stride?
Accepting that that’s the way your life turned out.
Or would you try and stand up for what you believe?
And tell others that they are wrong about you.
Trying to make friends,
People whom you can trust and tell secrets to.

Outcast
Alone…
Hiding your true self from others
Because you are afraid of what they will think once they know
Quiet…
Some people might think you are just shy,
That you just don’t want to talk.
Secretive…
Hiding secrets about your life that might be controversial to others
Because you realize that some people would hate you for it,
Even friends and family

No one understands you
No one cares
Only you know the truth
Only you know why
Everyone tells you that you should get over it
Everyone thinks you are a drama queen
Because you told them about your past
Because they realized you weren’t perfect.
Losing friends because you were honest
Losing faith in yourself because you start to hate who you are
Trying to overcome your past
Trying to be normal

Outcast…
Hating yourself
Not being able to control your feelings
Not being able to be yourself
With out being outted as…
A minority who is hated
A minority who is considered diseased
